Re: NEED HELP
I haven't had this experience before. I would think that if a dog isn't eating there is a problem espically if it has been going on for 4 days. Is he drinking water like normal or has this changed as well. I think I might be looking for a second vets opinion at this point as well.

Re: NEED HELP
Not that I can help much, not experienced it myself, but what exactly was the op for? What was removed? x

Re: NEED HELP
i would get a second opinion too to be on the safe side. to help with the reflux thing though we got lemmy a raised bowl as shown in the picture as he always got hiccups. if the bowl is on the floor the dog has to gulp to get the food up the throat before gravity takes over to get it into the stomach this can cause excess intake of air so different digestive symptoms can occur such as hiccups reflux and burping. try feeding scrambled egg or some kind of nice cerial and see if this gets eaten. the poor wee thing needs his food as you say and for now its anything that will go down

Have you tried pro-biottic yoghurt and really bland foods like grilled chicken breast and brown rice and scrambled eggs?
